Gatekeeper Systems Announces Participation in NRF PROTECT Student Scholarship Program

We Are for the Future of Retail Asset Protection

Foothill Ranch, Calif. – April 24, 2025

Gatekeeper Systems, a global leader in retail loss prevention technology, proudly announces its participation in the inaugural year of the NRF PROTECT Student Scholarship Program, reaffirming its commitment to nurturing the next generation of retail asset protection professionals.

Spearheaded by the National Retail Federation’s Loss Prevention Advisory Council, the NRF PROTECT Student Scholarship is designed to introduce college students and interns—who are currently studying or working in retail loss prevention-related fields—to the real-world impact and career opportunities in the asset protection industry. As a sponsor, Gatekeeper Systems will help fund the full attendance of a selected student at NRF PROTECT 2025, including travel, lodging, and conference participation.

“We are for the future of retail asset protection,” said Tracine Marroquin, Vice President of Marketing at Gatekeeper Systems. “By investing in this scholarship, we’re not only opening doors for promising students—we’re strengthening the future of our industry through education, mentorship, and exposure to cutting-edge retail technology.”

As part of the sponsorship, Gatekeeper Systems will engage directly with the scholarship recipient through a pre-event introduction, dedicated booth time at the NRF PROTECT Expo, and hands-on experience with the company’s innovative solutions, including Purchek® pushout theft prevention and FaceFirst AI-enabled face matching software. The student will also be supported by a designated retail or academic guide to help them navigate the conference.

This partnership reflects Gatekeeper Systems’ ongoing mission to empower safer, smarter retail environments—while also fostering talent and leadership for the challenges ahead.
